Louis,
         You may have meant to send your first email earlier but be aware
the original email and then the chaser only arrived one minute apart.  I
know the developers of these packages are a) very busy and b) currently
making a number of improvements which has in this case seemingly broken the
automated build.  To obtain the package you will need to checkout from the
SVN directly, details can be found here
https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/?group_id=316.  This repository contains
a number of packages so in the "pkg" directory you may only wish to
checkout "quantstrat".  Once you have checked this out to your local
machine you can then change to the directory in which the package resides
and run "R CMD INSTALL quantstrat".  To be clear if you check out to
"/home/user/quantstrat" then you need to run this command from "/home/user"
directory.  Once installed you can then open R and call
"library(quantstrat)" and you should be good to go.

I think the developers would agree that this is the better way to go about
obtaining the package and the latest updates than relying on the automated
builds, however saying that I do often rely on the automated ones myself
for convenience.  With that in mind I have reproduced the above from memory
but hopefully it should work for you.  If you are not sure how to go about
obtaining code from an SVN repository then I suggest you give it a google
and install some SVN management software.

Regards,****
